Reviews for Wishing for Tomorrow: The sequel to A Little Princess
Wonderful.
Guardian
'Handsomely illustrated by Nick Maland, it has a humour and a humanity of it's own, and adds to, rather than detracts from, the original.'
The Sunday Times
'Wittily illustrated by Nick Maland, packed with humour and just enough heartache to keep readers involved, this charming novel is a real treat'
Nicholas Tucker, Independent
'Wishing for Tomorrow is a warm, witty read that offers more realistic advice on climbing out of poverty than inheriting a diamond mine'
Daily Telegraph
Funny, clever and vividly characterised - I loved it.
Bounemouth Daily Echo
Charming, stylish, often funny, and frequently very moving.
School Librarian
Warm and wise.
